Ambiguous Disorder: Izzy is always distracted in class, and many of her teachers say in reports that she is smart and talented but needs to learn how to focus.

Imagine how embarrassing it must be when your peers think your mom is cooler than you. But thats the problem-Izzy is so fun and perky and a lot of Bris classmates compare them to each other, knowing they're related. Technically, shes not embarrassing her daughter Brianna in the typical way instead she is the Cool Teacher, and everyone loves her for being so creative and outgoing with her classes. Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Zig-Zagged.Davis-who's also the mother of the secondary protagonist, Brianna Davis. She remains shy, but slowly becomes more confident as she makes more friends than just her Best Friend (and Childhood Friend) Brianna.Īt the end of her book, it's revealed that Izzy has grown up to be the new popular drama/eighth grade English teacher, Mrs. Shrinking Violet: Emmie is so shy at first that she cant even speak up enough to ask people to move more than an eighth of an inch so she can get to her locker.Hidden Depths: She is (in Jamie's words once she actually gets to know her) sweet, easygoing, and talkative.In fact, Brianna is her childhood friend, Best Friend, and only friend until she starts to speak to Tyler and Sarah. Childhood Friends: With Brianna, who she's known since Brianna moved to town.

By the time of Truly Tyler, she's more confident and has made friends with Tyler and Sarah and-while she's still somewhat shy and nervous-when Joe tries to embarrass her about a theoretical love note, she stands up for herself and embarrasses him back-something very un-Emmie like. Character Development: Emmie is super shy in her first book, to the point she can't even ask the students standing by and blocking her locker to move or confess her crush on Tyler, and walking to class alone makes her stomach twisty Joe's picking on her upsets her, but she never speaks up against it and only takes his insults and teasing.Beware the Quiet Ones: Emmie doesn't always speak up for herself, but when she does, she means it.

A highly relatable middle grade drama.” - School Library Journal “Many readers will recognize themselves in Emmie and her friends, who are at once self-conscious and eager to be seen for who they are. “With all-too-familiar middle-school drama and an empowering lesson about speaking up and bravely facing down embarrassment, this should find an easy audience among fans of Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries books.” - Booklist A well-executed twist will have readers flipping back to see what they missed while cheering the strides made by Libenson’s no-longer-invisible heroine.” - Publishers Weekly “In her first children’s book, cartoonist Libenson offers strikingly different visions of seventh grade through two very dissimilar narrators. Reading Invisible Emmie sums up middle school: You laugh, you cry, you get beaned in the head with a volleyball.” - Stephan Pastis, author of Timmy Failure “Clever, funny work by a great cartoonist. “This funny and heartfelt tale will ring true for anyone who’s ever felt invisible.” - Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor author-illustrator of Roller Girl Invisible Emmie is unforgettable!” - Lincoln Peirce, author of Big Nate A fantastic debut novel with plenty of laughs and tons of heart. “This is middle grade fiction at its best.
